The barn, a former farm building, has been rebuilt and recently converted into an attractive, comfortable holiday cottage and offers a well-equipped kitchen dining room with oak beams and a stone wall, a comfortable sitting room, bedroom (with large double bed) and shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs there are two attic bedrooms: one double and one twin, and a further shower room. The property forms one side of a range of agricultural buildings in what was the old farmyard. This yard is now an attractive courtyard garden, with lawn area and table and chairs for al fresco dining. The courtyard is adjacent to the owners’ listed home. Many miles of open country and woodland of The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surround the property. The area is ideal for walking riding and biking and although quiet and rural enjoys easy access to Westcott village, and the historic market town of Dorking. With easy access by train to London, and good road access to the South of England and coast, the property is ideal as a base visiting this part of England.

3 Bedroom barn conversion in idyllic rural setting

The barn, a former farm building, has been rebuilt and recently converted into an attractive, comfortable holiday cottage and offers a well-equipped kitchen dining room with oak beams and a stone wall, a comfortable sitting room, bedroom (with large double bed) and shower room on the ground floor.

Bathroom 2 is an attic room with a sloping ceiling and may not be suitable for the very tall or those with restricted mobility. Both shower rooms are newly finished with good quality modern fittings and mains pressure showers.

Quiet and charming

Lovely welcome from the owners and we really appreciated the fresh garden flowers, local wine and delicious homemade cake. The beds were really comfortable with nice linen. Kitchen well stocked, everything we needed. We had four adults and two children aged 4 and 2. The children enjoyed every minute and slept really well as it was so quiet.

The Barn is a home away from home.

Chris & Nikki have done a fantastic job in creating a place that feels like home. There was nothing we required while there. We had a small issue with the washer dryer however, Chris was there to help fix it.

We really enjoyed our stay there. We would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about staying there.

Lovely peaceful accommodation

We booked the barn as it was close to the village my son was getting married in. The owners could not have been more helpful. The cottage was beautifully clean, tastefully decorated and exactly what we wanted. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Lovely cottage with a warm welcome

We stayed only two nights at the barn, but really enjoyed this cozy cottage. We found fresh flowers and cake upon our arrival as well as a warm welcome from Chris. The upstairs bedrooms are a bit small but managable and everything we needed was available.

Go in springtime if you can

Our visit was in early May when the bluebells and other spring flowers were out. Really beautiful. We were also delighted to see a family of badgers foraging on the lane down towards Westcott village.

As for the cottage...we have stayed in barn conversions before but nothing as well designed as this one. The two shower rooms were particularly pleasing. The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen area had everything needful for cooking and washing. We managed to get all the food we needed at the bakery and Mace shop in Westcott, which is just a mile down the lane.

Situated in the Surrey Hills - Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on a quiet rural lane about a mile from the village of Westcott, and only 3 miles from Dorking, the barn is ideally located for walking, cycling, riding and mountain biking. With direct access to the Surrey Hills’ extensive network of footpaths and bridleways just go from the door and leave the car behind.

Westcott has a baker’s, post office/village store, newsagents two pubs and an Indian restaurant. There is also a specialist bike shop with mountain bikes for hire. Dorking is a historic market town with a wide range of shops and restaurants, and has a railway station with a frequent service to London. There are several National Trust properties in the area, including Leith Hill Tower, the highest point in Southern England.
